Bullshit. Trump did not say that.

Fauci and CDC are not Trump.

Ain't that the understatement of the year.[/quote]

I wouldn't say that too loudly. I don't think the CDC has been doing an acceptable job during any of this either. This is literally what they are supposed to DO. There are thousands of people involved, all taking a good salary to protect us from these things and manage them properly. I have no respect for the CDC after all this.[/quote]

If only they were properly funded and staffed.

I really don't see this as a reason. If every employee at the CDC was working effectively and doing everything they could to get PPE and push forward treatment development/discovery then I'd love to hear about that, but I really don't think it was the case.

People like Elon Musk could go and buy ventilators himself and bring them over and donate them to hospitals here. Do you think people at the CDC couldn't have been making those calls? I don't believe that for a second.

If they're so incompetent that they couldn't get PPE and/or ventilators for us THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE AVAILABLE then they aren't doing their jobs. Period.[/quote]

Trump, Bannon, Miller tried to gut government agencies - staffing and funding. Guess what? It worked.

And guess what? Crappy leadership (incl HHS) ends in crappy results. How much were they “allowed” to purchase? Sounds like Trump is shopping around for deals himself (against the states).
